Virgo Season: Release Perfectionism Affirmations

This practice is created for Virgo season, or anytime you need a reminder that imperfect is still enough.

We'll begin with some gentle breathing to help you settle into the moment, before I briefly explore Virgo's archetype and how we can use its energy to better understand our relationship with perfectionism.

From there, we'll move into a series of affirmations, using the breath to help you release the pressure to be perfect, soften the inner critic, and create a little more space for acceptance and ease.

A gentle practice for anyone who needs a reminder that you don't always need to get everything right.

Thank you so much for listening and practicing with me.

Well, Hello there. Welcome to Celestial Gems. I'm Jem. And I'll be your guide for this Virgo season practice. Let's begin with a gentle breath in through the nose, Allowing yourself to settle into this moment now. Hold at the top of your breath. If that feels comfortable to you. But you don't have to. And then, Exhale slowly through the mouth, Imagining yourself gently untangling from any anxious thoughts or urgency. This moment is just for you. Another soft breath in through the nose, Allowing the breath to move through your body. You can hold at the top of the breath if you like. And then exhale. Allowing all the to-do's, Expectations and demands to soften and melt away. One more deep breath in, Remembering. You're allowed to take some time just for yourself. Hold for a moment or two. And then gently exhale, Letting it all go. Virgo, The analyst of the astrological signs, Is ruled by Mercury. The planet of communication and is associated with the six house of daily routines, Work, Health and self-improvement. Virgo's energy is practical. Discerning and attentive to detail. These can be beautiful qualities, But like every astrological sign, Virgo has the shadow side. The desire to improve can become criticism. Discernment can become judgment and care can turn into control. It can make the desire to do things well become a belief that we must do so perfectly. This practice has been created for Virgo season or any time you may need an invitation. Or reminder to keep the positive qualities of discernment alive. And self-improvement whilst releasing the pressure to be perfect. Life is messy. Your heart is messy. Your relationships will get messy. If you wait for the perfect moment, You may never begin. Let's work through this together using breath and affirmations. Take each breath at whatever pace feels best to you. The purpose here is simply to use the breath to connect with the moment and with our inner selves. Ready? Breathe in… home. Exhale. Repeat after me either out loud or to yourself I release myself. From the expectation. Of perfection. I release myself. From the expectation of. Of perfection. I release myself. From the expectation. Of perfection. Breathe in. Exhale. I allow myself.

You don't need to force yourself to believe them. Simply, Allow them to be. Observe. Acknowledge. Take one final deep breath in. Hold at the top if that feels good to you. And then release. Thank you so much for joining me today. I am truly grateful you stopped by. Until we meet again, Goodbye my celestial friends.
